Totally, I set up Stremio on an AndroidTV box for my family and they use it all the time, they don’t miss Netflix anymore.
The quality of the movies/shows is great and it doesn’t stutter(90% of the times it doesn’t, for me at least… depends on the file)
But it uses torrents, so maybe that’s a problem for OP?
That’s the experience I’m trying to create for my partner. I’m very comfortable with torrenting but she wouldn’t have a clue on how to do it (safely). As long it streams and doesn’t require her to actually go through the torrent client it’ll be fine.
Thank you all for the suggestions. It’s really starting to feel at home here on Lemmy!
As another user said you need to install the “torrentio” addon which gives you access to pretty much all the torrents, it has it’s own website. This can be done on Desktop or mobile(Android)
On TV you first have to configure Stremio on a phone or PC with a Stremio account(free) and then sync your addons on Stremio TV with the same account.
A bit tricky and confusing, but it is easy, you can find more compressible tutorials on YouTube
Have to get her to stop whinging about Kodi haha. Ditched the shitty Android box and setup my spare laptop as a dedicated streaming machine. It’s now much faster and smoother.
